A cascade of pre-pub praise for Elvia Wilk's DEATH BY LANDSCAPE: ESSAYS

Soft Skull Press will publish Elvia Wilk’s collection DEATH BY LANDSCAPE: ESSAYS in July and the stellar pre-pub attention is already rolling in. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly calls the collection “superb… elegant and powerful,” while Kirkus writes, “[Wilk] makes us look at the world and speculative creations in a new, defamiliarized way.”

Elvia’s peers have also offered a chorus of admiring early blurbs, including these words from Jonathan Lethem: “Perhaps ‘essays’ is too slight a description for Death by Landscape, which strikes me as the stealth memoir of a supertaster of the present moment—a citizen of our suffering species who has chosen storytelling as her armor for survival. Whatever you call it, Wilk’s book strengthens me to go on with the essential work, and makes me awfully eager for her next.”
